\\\"First, I don\\\'t recall insulting other users is the foundation of TV Tropes.\\\" - I didn\\\'t insult you, I insulted your shallow bullshit whining. :)
\\\"Second, it\\\'s justified: pretty much every location exists just because the devs say it does, without much actual justification or exposition given.\\\" - Every settlement is explained in history, not in full depth but there is explanation, and many locations such as abandoned buildings or Vaults have backstory on their purpose.
\\\"New Vegas, 1 and 2 go into detail about what makes each settlement tick, indicating (and sometimes just telling) about agriculture, economy, water supply etc.\\\" - Whatever little credibility you had is thrown out here, making it obvious you\\\'re one of the camp of fans who hate Fallout 3 solely because Black Isle didn\\\'t make it, since you think so highly of the ones they did.
\\\"Then there are a myriad of working terminals, lights etc. without a single line of explanation\\\" - see under AcceptableBreaksFromReality
\\\"arbitrary choices in the storyline imposed on the player etc. - hideously linear main story, forced to stand with the Brotherhood with no choice given and the game forcing the player to do the stupid without eg. the ability to send in Fawkes or Charon to press the big red button. \\\" - All Fallout games are just as linear, the story progresses in the same manner. As for Fawkes and Charon, the DLCs corrected that and Bethesda says canonically it\\\'s been retconned, so go ahead if you want to send them in. The Brotherhood is a storyline necessity because no one else has the firepower to oppose the Enclave.
\\\"All of these justify putting in said trope, but apparently, someone didn\\\'t like his favourite game being insulted.\\\" No they don\\\'t, and Fallout 3 is not my favorite game, if I had to pick a favorite of the series it would be 2, though the different perspective of exploration gave 3 a deeper wasteland feel.
\\\"Second of all, New Vegas\\\' supposedly branching storyline came off to me as a joke.\\\" - Same here, the supposed grey morality is nonsense since the Legion is so much worse than NCR and you have limited control over which factions survive without going the Wild Card path. You want House to survive but NCR to take power? Too bad. Although I did appreciate the Wild Card path, games that let you disregard factions and seize power for yourself always get a plus in my book.
